If you want to earn 1/3 as much as an engineer, and barely enough to survive in NYC, then don't get a degree. Otherwise, go and fucking learn something.
Yes... That's the entire point of a CA, to certify that a person really is that person. If the certificate is bad, they can no longer make that certification, so it really really really is their job to do that. It is in fact their only job.
Honestly, I like the fact that they put a penalty on expanding too much too quickly. Early Civs had the issue that the roll your war machine over everyone approach by far dominated other paths to victory. Civ V balanced that out nicely.
You're right though, the way that culture worked (as opposed to just happiness) was completely broken, and completely impossible to win in a multiplayer match, and yes, the expansions sorted that out.
The city state mechanic I felt worked well though –it stopped the AI playing by elimination of dominated strategies, and just always voting for itself, making diplomatic victory impossible.
Honestly, I have no idea how you can not enjoy Civ V. I've owned all the Civ games except for II. Enjoyed all of them, but V is by far the most tactical, and interesting to play. The hex based system, and the fact that you can only have one unit per tile makes attacking cities much much much trickier than it ever used to be.
Actually, in the UK, it really does work like that. Even if you're only visiting the UK for a 2 hour period, and manage to become seriously ill in that time, you'll get free treatment there.
Yes, it is. In much the same way as we had to have a culture war to prove that women were not second class citizens, and a culture war to prove that blacks were not second class citizens. Unfortunately, these wars (including the one proving that gays are not second class citizens) are on going.
Because lots of people who are not religious (or of other religions) feel that "marriage" is an important thing in their life, and "civil union" is not. The bottom line is that the church can not, and does not have a monopoly on the word. The government shouldn't give to them.
No one is stopping him saying anything. They're simply saying they don't like what he's saying, and what he's doing. They're saying (freely too), that they disagree so strongly that they feel that they don't want to interact with him. That's their right too.
This doesn't need any redefinition. The marriage system is already part of law, and because of separation of church and state, that means not part of religion. Marriage is a purely legal thing.
Yes. One of the best ways to avoid wearing cells is to cache writes aggressively, in the hope that either 1) another write will simply write over the top of that one, or 2) another write will fill in the rest of the cell, so that you don't have to erase a cell for a partial write.
While you're right, there are significant costs over and above the ones you're considering. For example, the cost of producing cards for all card holders, and producing terminals for all stores.
The point is that "punishment" should not in itself be a goal at all. Rehabilitation and protection of members of society should be the only two goals.
Prison as a punishment simply does not work. It has been shown repeatedly that it doesn't work, both generally (that negative reinforcement sucks), and that that specific case does not work.
The only reasonable goal of a prison is protection of society.
Duff's device never was elegant. It was always a very dirty hack to trick the compiler into generating something you wanted it to. The elegant solution is to state exactly what you want to happen in as clear a way as possible.
That's in no way elegant. It's overly complex "clever" code, that doesn't simply state to a human what is going on. Add to that that modern compilers will do a better job of optimising the elegant implementation, and this is probably the least elegant code you could ever write.
Hi, I want to pretend that I've done a bunch of academic learning, because I feel that I have the right to the title because I have some experience.
Hint: Bachelors degrees are different from experience. Experience is valuable, but it's not the same thing as academic learning, in the same way as academic learning is valuable, but not the same thing as experience. If you want a bachelor's degree... go and do one.
Oh get over it, they chose a unit. You're not going to complain that they didn't convert into lesser, middle and grate miles too are you? (yes, other archaic civilisations used 3 different miles).
Alternatively, maybe he actually isn't nailing the questions. Most tech interview questions are designed to see just how far down the rabbit hole you go. It's very easy to get "the right" answer, but not to have impressed anyone by finding the more efficient answer, or the complex but optimal answer.

Actually, the smarter receivers do still work with bounced signals involved.
Unlikely... More likely it's them checking their (not announced) scrambling works, ready for an invasion.

That's the key though – taxi services are required to be licensed (and with good reason), so these are not operating under the same constraints.

And only if you had made a capitol gain somewhere else.

You know you can just mount the file system of the remote host by sshfs, right?
Good, so you agree with me then, that pouring money into trying to update vim is pointless, and just polishing a turd.
There's a reason people argue about vim and emacs...
It's because they're BOTH shit.
